LPT: If working on the underside of a car requires you to use a car jack to raise it up, set bricks/blocks under the frame next to the car jack. Should the car jack fail the bricks/blocks will prevent the car from falling and crushing whoever is under the vehicle.

Never under estimate the power of a cement or wood block stand. Yes I have jack stands, 5 each to be exact, but multiple projects may require multiple stands. Also, for safety, the load lifted by the jack should always be lowered down to the stand or block before underneath anything.

Note: Moderators will use their own discretion to remove any post that they believe is low-quality or not considered a life pro tip.

Banning Policy

Bans are given out immediately and serve as a warning. You may appeal this initial ban by messaging the moderators and agreeing not to break the rules again. Please acknowledge the rule you broke! Note: Bans will not be reversed if the post/comment in question has been deleted from your history.

A temporary ban can not be appealed, and will expire at the end of the allotted time.

Note: Homophobia, racism, harassment and general hate on ethnicity, sex, religion or anything else will result in a permanent ban that cannot be appealed. Tips that advocate/support illegal activities are also grounds for a permanent ban as well. Tips or comments that encourage behavior that can cause injury or harm to others will be cause for a ban. As the majority of LPT Mods are US Based, we will be using US laws to determine whether or not it's legal.
